a)वायुभार पट्ट्यांचे आंदोलन / Shifting of pressure belts
b)वायुभार पट्ट्यांच्या आंदोलनामुळे हिवाळ्यात भूमध्य समुद्राच्या प्रदेशात कमी वायुभार प्रदेश निर्माण होतो / Low pressure belt occurs over the Mediterranean region during the winter season due to shifting of pressure belts✓ Correct
c)भूमध्य समुद्राकडून भूभागाकडे वारे वाहतात / Winds blow from the Mediterranean sea towards land
d)आल्प्स पर्वताच्या वात सन्मुख उतारावर प्रतिरोध पर्जन्य पडतो / Orographic rain developed on the windward slope of the Alps
The Mediterranean climate region experiences winter rainfall because the pressure belts shift southward in winter, bringing the region under the influence of westerly wind-bearing depressions.
